The town of Lewisboro is located in the Northeast area of Westchester County. It is consisted of six hamlets: Lewisboro, Goldens Bridge, South Salem, Waccabuc, Cross River, and Vista. Although it is only 55 miles away from Manhattan, you get a blend of country and small town living that is unlike the typical suburb.

One thing you will notice while driving is the abundance of horse farms and country estates. You may actually see people crossing the roads on the horses, while riding on the horse trails. The Lewisboro Horseman's Association holds events and advocate for the horse trails. 

There are seven lakes in the town that accounts for 1.3 square miles. Lake Waccabuc, Lake Waccabuc, Lake Oscaleta, and Lake Rippowam are interconnected. Lake Waccabuc is the largest and most well-known. All the lakes create a beautiful landscape in this town among the hills and horse farms.

Outdoor lovers would love visiting 4,500-acre Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, partially in Lewisboro, which is the largest park in Westchester. There are also four town parks, with a total of 179 acres. 

There are several small strip malls in Goldens Bridge, Cross River, and South Salem. For more shopping options, people usually go to Danbury, CT 25 minutes away. There are also downtown shopping and entertainment in downtown Katonah, Mount Kisco, and Ridgefield CT.
